What size wood Urn do I need?

Please follow these simple rules: What was the approximate body weight of the person you are purchasing the cremation wood urn for. Cremation Urns are listed in cubic inches. 1 pound of body weight = 1 cubic inch of ashes. For example, a cremated 180 pound person will yield approximately 180 cubic inches of ashes.

How long will it take for me to receive my order?

Normal delivery time is ten(10) business days after you give authorization of proofs of any graphics that will be going on your order. Note, this is not 10 business days after the order is placed, it is after approval of the proofs.

How do I get the ashes into the wood urn?

Ashes come in a plastic bag, within a plastic box from the crematory and one can transfer the plastic bag from one cremains container to another fairly easily, usually without removing the ashes from the urn. In most cases your cremation facility will gladly put the cremains in your wood urn for you.

How do I seal a wood urn?

Our wood urns open via a removable lid or keepsake cup on the top of the urn. Simply by lift the lid. If permanent sealing is desired, we recommend the use of a clear silicon sealant sold in a tube, that can be purchased by the customer at any hardware or home improvement store.

Will the customizable hand-crafted wood urn I order look exactly like the photo?

Similar, but not exactly the same. Since every customizable hand-crafted wood urn is hand-made, no two pieces are exactly alike. There are always minor variations in color and design from piece to piece. These variations are the hallmark of fine hand-crafted wood urns. We would like to point out that the color in the photos may vary from computer to computer. Not all computer monitors are calibrated to the same standard., so the product you receive may vary slightly in color from the photo on your monitor.

Can I use any image that I want to on the urn I'm building?

You can only use images that are not registered trademarks or copywritten on your urn. If you would like to use a image that has a copyright (e.g. a sports team) you would need to contact the company that holds the copyright and receive written permission with contact information that we can verify before we can engrave the picture for you.
